Today is Tuesday.  The dig site is still way too wet to dig.  It has been raining today and it is supposed to continue to rain for the rest of the week.  Today we did research on our material culture that we have been assigned.  I have the little cup/bowl thing that I found.  It popped right out of the ground at me.  It was really funny.  Today was all about work.  Mr. Thames said we would be able to watch a movie the rest of the week as long as we worked hard today.  So I do not expect to be writing any more blogs for the rest of this week.  He said we are going to watch Indiana Jones or National Treasure.  I haven't seen the new Indiana Jones or the second National Treasure, so I'm excited to see either of them.

We cleaned a lot of stuff today.  The little pot that I found, we cleaned really well.  Bravo team's bronze statue turned a little pink.  They put on some solution to get off all the gross stuff.  We had to clean a lot.  We cleaned my little pot, a clay plate with an intricate design, a glass gauntlet, and other miscellaneous items.  It was not the most exciting stuff, but none the less it was alright.  It has been raining a lot recently so i doubt that we will be able to go outside tomorrow.  It is supposed to get a lot colder at the end of the week as well.  That would be very nice.

WOW! We went down far today. Chris found something like a glass gauntlet in the northeast corner of our square. We really exposed most of the northern wall now. It is pretty exciting. I was moving some dirt with my turia and a little copper bowl literally just popped out of the ground. It was really weird. I didn't even see it, it was still under the dirt. It popped in the air out of the ground. We didn't get a chance to articulate it. We got a lot deeper. It's pretty cool. I have a feeling that there is still a lot of stuff we still need to uncover. It's pretty sweet.

Today is Tuesday. We did dug down today. It was a decent day, but not great. We really articulated the pillar in our baulk today. I had to leave early today, but I wasn't allowed to. i got kind of tired out for our game. Tomorrow is the long day. We always get a lot done on long days. Nothing was found today. Jared and Travis sing a lot. It really is kind of annoying. I don't like Travis as square leader, but I don' really want to be square leader either. There's too much responsibility. Tomorrow should be good though.

Today we cleaned stuff. It was honestly kind of boring. We cleaned everything with a toothbrush and water. I had to go get water several times. We cleaned our stuff; there wasn't a lot of things so we cleaned some other stuff of other peoples squares as well. There's not too much to say about cleaning days. Yesterday was my birthday. I am now eighteen years old. It is pretty exciting. That is realy all I have to say about today.

It's Friday!  It is also Halloween.  My birthday is this weekend and I am turning eighteen.  Today was honestly kind of a lazy day.  No one really felt like doing much, we were all tired.  We did dig a little bit and got our baulks nice and neat and gout our hole nice and level.  We keep finding lots of more bricks, but nothing out of the ordinary other than that pillar.  Alpha team found the other part of their statue today.  Team Charlie hasn't found much, but they are still trying to get level.  Some of the dirt in their square has still gone untouched.  It's okay though, they will find something sooner or later.  I was just tired today, so hopefully next time will be a good day and we will get down really far.
